Isaiah 11
1 A branch will come out of the stock of Jesse, and a shoot out of his roots will bear fruit.
Miti itachipukia katika mizizi ya Yese, na matawi yanayotokana na mizizi yatazaa matunda.
2 The Spirit of YHWH will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH.
Na roho wa Bwana atashuka juu yake, roho wa hekima na maelewano, roho ya maelekezo na ukuu, roho ya maarifa na hofu ya Yahwe.
3 His delight will be in the fear of YHWH. He will not judge by the sight of his eyes, neither decide by the hearing of his ears;
Furaha yake itakuwa hofu ya Bwana; hatatoa hukumu kwa kile anachokiona, wala atatoa maamuzi kwa kile anachokisikia.
4 but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
Badala yake atawahukumu masikini kwa haki na atafanya maamuzi kwa usawa na unyenyekevu. Ataamurisha mgomo wa dunia kwa fimbo ya mdomo wake, na punzi ya midomo yake, atawauwa waovu.
5 Righteousness will be the belt of his waist, and faithfulness the belt of his waist.
Haki itakuwa mkanda wa viuno kiuno chake kuzunguka mapaja yake.
6 The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat; The calf and the young lion will graze together; and a little child will lead them.
Mbwa mwitu atakaa pamoja na kondoo, na chui watalala chini pamoja na mtoto wa mbuzi, ndama, mtoto wa simba na ndama pamoja na ndama aliyenona. Mtoto mdogo atawaongoza wao.
7 The cow and the bear will graze. Their young ones will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox.
Ng'ombe na dubu watachungwa pamoja. Na watoto wao watalala pamoja. Simba atakula majani kama ng'ombe.
8 The nursing child will play near a cobra's hole, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper's den.
Mtoto atacheza juu ya chimo la nyoka, na mtoto aliyeachwa ataweka mkono wake katika pango la nyoka.
9 They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.
Hawataumizwa wala kuharibiwa kwenye mlima mtakatifu; kwa maana dunia itakuwa imejaa maarifa ya Yahwe, kama maji yajaavyo kwenye bahari.
10 And in that day there will be a root of Jesse, one who stands up to rule over the peoples; to him will the nations seek, and his resting place will be glorious.
Siku hiyo mzizi wa Yese utasimama kama bendera ya watu. Taifa litamtafuta yeye nje, na mahali pake pakupumzikia patatukuka.
11 It will happen in that day that YHWH will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros, from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Siku hiyo, Bwana ataunyoosha mkono wake tena kuokoa mabaki ya watu wake yaliyosalia huko Asiria, Misri, Pathrosi, Kushi, Shinari, Hamathi, na kisiwa cha bahari.
12 He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
Ataweka bendera kwa kwa mataifa na atakusanya Waisrel waliotupwa na watu wa Juuda waliotawanyika kitika pembe nne za dunia.
13 The envy also of Ephraim will depart, and those who persecute Judah will be cut off. Ephraim won't envy Judah, and Judah won't persecute Ephraim.
Ataujeuza wivu wa Efraimu, na ukatili wa Yuda utakomeshwa. Efraimu atamuonea wivu Yuda, Yuda hatakuwa adui wa Efraimu tena.
14 They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the people of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the people of Ammon will obey them.
Badala yake, watashuka chini kwenye mlima wa Wafilisti upande wa magharibi, na pamoja watateka watu mashariki. Watavamia Edomu na Moabu, na watu wa Amoni watawatii wao.
15 YHWH will utterly destroy the tongue of the Sea of Egypt; and with a mighty wind he will wave his hand over the River, and will split it into seven streams, and cause men to march over in sandals.
Yahwe atauharibu kabisa ghuba ya bahari ya Misri. Kwa mawimbi makali ambayo yanavuma juu ya mtoto Efurate na itagawanyika katika mifereji saba, hivyo unaweza ukapita juu kwa viatu.
16 There will be a highway for the remnant that is left of his people from Assyria, like there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.
Kutakuwa na njia kuu kwa ajili ya mabaki ya watu kurudi kutoka Asiria, maana kuna Waisraeli wanaokuja kutoka nchi ya Misri.
